Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ Android Oreo beta program to reportedly open next week, limited spots available

We can not say we are totally surprised, as Samsung is the only leading Android OEM that is yet to say anything regarding the Oreo update. While the new flagship smartphones from pretty much all leading Android OEMs are expected to be updated to Android 8.0 Oreo before the end of the year, Samsung, the biggest Android OEM, will apparently begin rolling out the same update for its flagship models in early 2018. A less likely to happen rumor is that Samsung will release the two variants in January 2018.

As the information isn't coming directly from Samsung, it's not certain just yet, so don't get your hopes too high just yet. Those versions are G950FXXE1ZQI7 and G955FXXU1ZQI7. Participants would have to have a Galaxy S8 that's on T-Mobile or Sprint.

While the Galaxy S8 Android Oreo beta sits in limbo, Samsung is clearly working on its Android 8.0 Oreo update behind the scenes.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A has a 8-inch 1280x800p screen in a metal frame with rounded edges.

Samsung has released a new ad ahead of iPhone X preorders featuring popular YouTubers sharing how impressed they are with the "Infinity Display" found on the latest lineup of Galaxy smartphones. A specific "kids mode" populates the tablet with apps and games from Samsung partners, including Lego, although only some are included for free. Needless to say, it is very disappointing that Samsung is going to take nearly half a year to complete the Oreo update rollout even for its flagship models.
